Summary
Great camera for an intermediate user like me. Lots of features for specific types of shots, but fast and easy enough for my technophobe wife when on full automatic.
Shots were pretty good -- a little grainy in low light conditions. Additionally, I think that the JPEG compression seems to be a little flawed since the raw pictures look much, much better in some cases.
Alas, the camera is, however, prone to failure it seems. I got the dreaded "Lens Error, Restart Camera" (also known as the e18 error on previous models). Google either to see the sheer mass of users plagued by this issue.
Canon refused to fix my five-month-old camera when I sent it to them. Absolutely the worst customer service experience I've ever had with an electronics company.
Strengths
Great photos, easy to use in full auto, fast.
Weaknesses
Lasted only four months and Canon refused to fix it. Thousands of people have experienced the same issue -- Google "Canon Lens Error" or "e18 error" and see for yourself.
Similar Products Used
Konica Minolta G400.
Customer Service
Horrible customer service. Canon refused to repair the camera even though it was only 5 months old! They said that it was "Not Economical to Repair". I feel that Canon is purposely not repairing these to mitigate the huge loses they would experience if they fixed the thousands of Lens Error/e18 Error cameras out there.
